I am curious as to how to handle having a student who is very excited to learn and eventually venture out into a career that it seems nearly impossible for them to succeed in. This student cannot spell, has extemely poor study habits, is often late for class, is disruptive in class, has many visible tattoos and piercings, has to be forced to "work" in lab and is holding a passing grade by the skin of their teeth. I have offered tutoring (which is unpaid for me but something I have no issue with and think is very important). I have had no response. I have tried to guide this student by discussing what is expected in the mainstream in this line of work. Nothing seems to phase this student and the behavior continues. Any suggestions?
